Report misuse of the Fair Trade Certified™ seal
We take proper use of the Fair Trade Certified seal seriously. If you see someone violating our seal use guidelines (which are available on our partner resources page), help us by reporting it.
Often, a case of a product or brand misusing the seal is simply a mistake. In some cases, businesses that are not licensed by Fair Trade USA use the term “Fair Trade Certified” or use the Fair Trade Certified seal on their products. In others, companies that are licensed by Fair Trade USA use the term or label incorrectly.
To submit a report of misuse, we just need some basic information from you.
